Release notes

Version 0.14

Update Star-SampPling to 0.12.1 to fix compilations errors with gcc 11.
Update the other libraries to handle the API breaks introduced by Star-SamPling 0.12.

Version 0.13

Update Star-MonteCarlo to 0.4.1: it adds a progress log during computations.
Update all dependencies that use CMake 2.8 as the minimum version of CMake: Since CMake 3.20, version 2.8 has become obsolete.

Version 0.12

Bump Star-2D to 0.5 and Star-3D to 0.8. These versions introduce an API break for filtering functions: the range of the ray is added as a new input parameter.

Version 0.11

Add the Star-UnstructuredVolumetricMesh library that manages unstructured meshes storing volumetric data described by a soup of tetrahedra.
Add the RSIMD library that provides an API to help in the use of the SIMD instruction sets.
Bump RSys to 0.12, Star-2D to 0.4.1, Star-3D to 0.7.4, Star-SF to 0.7, Star-SP to 0.10, and Star-VX to 0.2. Refer to the release notes of each library for more informations.

Version 0.10

Update the versions of almost all libraries. Bump AW to 2.0, RSys to 0.11, Star-2D to 0.4, Star-3D to 0.7.3, Star-3DAW to 0.4, Star-3DUT to 0.3.2, Star-SP to 0.9, and Star-VX to 0.1. Refer to the release notes of each library for informations on these versions.

Version 0.9

Update the Star-3D library to the 0.7 version. Most notably, this version adds a function to find the closest point to a query location. It also provides a new scene view creation function that allows the caller to configure the acceleration structure used to partition the geometry.
Update the RSys library to the 0.8.1 version that updates the memory allocation policy used by the dynamic arrays.
Minor update of the Star-2D and the Star-STL libraries to their 0.3.1 version and 0.3.3 version, respectively.
Remove the Star-Display program and the Star-RenDeRer libraries from the Star-Engine project.

Version 0.8.1

Fix a Star-3D issue: the sampling of a scene composed of meshes and spheres was not uniform.

Version 0.8

Bump Embree version to 3.3
Migrate the ray-tracing backend of the Star-2D and the Star-3D libraries from Embree2 to Embree3.

Version 0.7

Add the Star-2D library. This library manages two dimensional scenes composed of line segments that can be then sampled and ray-traced. It is actually the counterpart of the Star-3D library for the 2D geometries.
Add the Star-VoXel library that manages a set of volume elements (i.e. voxels) structured as a set of axis aligned cuboids. Star-VoXel also provides efficient ways to index voxels or access them through ray-tracing.
Add support of phase functions to the Star-ScatteringFunction library to describe the angular distribution of light reflected from a body when illuminated from a specific direction.
Add to Star-SamPling the uniform sphere cap random variate.
Fix several issues in several libraries: refer to the release notes of the projects for more informations.

Version 0.6

Update the Embree library to 2.17.
Update several Star-Engine projects. Most notably, Star-3D, Star-MonteCarlo and Star-SamPling are updated to the version 0.5, 0.4 and 0.7, respectively. Refer to their release note for more informations.
Update the default URL of the pre-compiled dependencies to HTTP secure.

Version 0.5.1

Update the star-engine.profile script: setup the CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Version 0.5

Update Boost dependency on Windows to 1.64.
Update RSys dependency to 0.5.
Update Star-Engine projects to their latest available versions (s3dut 0.2, ssf 0.4, ssp 0.5); this introduces API discontinuities!

Version 0.4

Update of almost all Star-Engine projects; among others, bump version of the Star-3D and Star-SamPling projects to 0.4.1 and 0.4, respectively. Both are incompatible with their previous version.
Add the Star-ScatteringFunctions library: it provides abstraction to manage how light is scattered at an interface.
Add the Star-3DUT library: it generates triangular meshes for several common shapes (cuboid, cylinder, sphere, etc.).
Remove the optional Schiff and Star-GebhartFactor projects from the Star-Engine main script; they have their own Star-Engine script on the schiff and gebhart branches, respectively.
